[Music Video] Alicia Keys and Maxwell Get Steamy In Video For "The Fire We Make"

Alicia Keys and Maxwell join forces on new single, The Fire We Make. Taken from last year's album, Girl On Fire, single number four (I think?) is a surprise choice considering the hard time Rnb is having on the charts at the moment- don't believe me, just ask Brandy. But maybe the combined musical powers of these two great singers can reignite the public's love affair with the genre.

As for me, I just can't get into the song right now- what with the sun, blue skies and 22° temperature going on outside my window. Maybe you guys will have better luck! I'll try again once ol' Helios has gone to bed.

The musical quivalent of overacting. Might have been hot if they weren't trying so hard.Though with the guy singing that high, could that ever be hot?Even though I'm a lesbian, it doesn't work for me. A duet that straight ,for me, needs a more masculine type of singing by the male to work as ''hot''.

But maybe you should be posting the other way round? Send DD's composing efforts to Jessie. Seems she's willing to lend her voice to that level electronic muzak. No offense DD. You might finally make those millions you mentioned in the past. ;-)

Will the song be a hit? In today's climate, I couldn't say. However, is it good RnB? Absolutely! I think that the simplicity of it works in favor of Alicia's smokey tone and lack of a live belting ability lol...and Maxwell can just sing the phone book and it would be gold; falsetto or full voice. The exhilarations and coos along with the intimate and sultry melody is in itself exhilarating. I love it.

NOTE: Blogging is a time-expensive/cash-poor endeavour. That ain't your problem, I know, but it is nice to know my time and effort is worth something to someone. DD.
